Have you installed & started the redis server too?! BTW, I dont think you can do this. redis has only releases for Linux OSs – Marc Oct 04 '21 at 11:32

1Short answer, No. "Long" answer, install a linux VM. – Marc Oct 04 '21 at 12:34

Just use docker. `docker run -p 6379:6379 redis` – superstator Oct 04 '21 at 16:24

Install WSL on windows. Can do this through Microsoft store. Example below is using Ubuntu and assumes you have installed the distribution with an open terminal. Ubuntu can be started by normal ways of starting applications on Windows.
> sudo apt-get update
> sudo apt-get upgrade
> sudo apt-get install redis-server
> redis-cli -v
This performs updates to ubuntu on your machine and installs redis.
The last command should output something like: redis-cli 6.2.5
If for some reason redis is not running, execute sudo service redis-server restart in ubuntu terminal
